Anti-Forensic Techniques and Countermeasures

Michael Perklin

Digital investigations may be conducted differently by various labs (law enforcement agencies, private firms, enterprise corporations) but each lab performs similar steps when acquiring, processing, analyzing, or reporting on data. This updated talk will discuss techniques that criminals can use to throw wrenches into each of these steps in order to disrupt an investigation, and how they can even force evidence to be excluded from litigation. Each of these techniques can be detected early by an investigator who is aware of them, and they can be avoided if you know what to look for. Come learn about Anti-Forensic techniques, and the countermeasures that mitigate them.
